So, Georgie, can you tell us about your favourite film,

1:25

the Harry Potter film you mentioned?

So Harry Potter is all about a boy who discovers that he is a wizard,

1:38

that is someone who does magic.

1:41

And he goes to a school for magic, called Hogwarts,

1:45

and he meets his best friends, Ron and Hermione,

1:48

who are other characters in the film.

1:51

And he spends a lot of his time

1:54

trying to escape a dark wizard called Voldemort and it's very dangerous.

It's a great film!

2:01

Wow, it sounds like there's lots of interesting characters in these films.

2:06

Yes. Very evil characters and also really nice characters.

2:11

Mm. So, Georgie, you talked a lot about your favourite film, Harry Potter,

2:18

and the grammar you used to describe the film was present simple.

2:26

So, for example, you said the film is about a boy

2:30

who discovers that he is a wizard and he goes to a school,

2:37

a special school for wizards, and he makes friends with Ron and Hermione.

2:44

All present simple.

2:46

Yes, that's right.
